Description

The A-Class QR-Trophy – the hunt for the QR-Prototypes of the new A-Class. In order to generate excitement and attention for the new A-Class before the market launch, we turned secret prototypes of the new a-class into advertising media. Instead of the camouflage pattern on Prototypes, the cars were fully plastered with QR-Codes and sent onto the streets of Europe. The goal was to find the different QR-Codes on the streets, in the press and online to scan and collect them with the Smartphone App in order to win a trip to the world premier of the new A-Class.
